Tuesday evening was great for soccer, before the game started the Lady Owls honored their seniors for senior night. The seniors honored on Tuesday include Ashlyn Henderson, Rachel Lenart, Avery Musgrave, Elise Hartung, Sam Cardenas, Claire Marshall, Elizabeth Trueblood, and Cheyanne Givens.

Now, let’s get to the game. The Owls controlled the ball for much of the first half, and in the 10th minute Jennings had a costly penalty, and sophomore Katy Roark stepped in the box for a penalty kick. After a mistake by the goalie, Roark knocked it right into the goal. The crowd went wild!
